Sprocket Roasters (Cafe), Hunter Street, Newcastle
I’ve walked past Sprocket Roasters on Hunter St Newcastle before, but haven’t headed in to try their home-roated coffee before… but it was a such as gorgeous day on Saturday that my parents and I said “Why not? Let’s have another coffee before the train comes!” (while the trains still run, hey?

We sat outside on the corner of Watt and Hunter Sts
The Last Gasps of the Hunter Street Mall (Newcastle)
Let’s look at that sign for nostalgia or something?
So, Newcastle, are you happy being a ‘safe’ Labor seat still?

Sunday Brunch
Late, relaxed lunch on Sunday staying with Rish’s family.
Watch Ya Step
I spent the weekend in Newcastle. I didn’t fall down any large holes.
Thank you for that safety notice, Newcastle council workers.
(They should include similar ones to prevent oil spills!)
I hope this birdie didn’t get oily…
Happy in our Hoodies
Up in Newcastle for the weekend, got yo catch up with my sister and nephew today.
He’s such a poser. Sees the red light of the camera and out come the smiles!
Darby Street Eats
Even when I’m only in Newcastle for a short stay, I tend to have a few meals on Darby Street :)

Fruit salad with almond cous cous for breakfast from 3 Monkeys
It’s been awhile since I’m been to 3 Monkeys, mostly because I’ve had quite bad service there in the past. But I was impressed with this different breakfast. I don’t think I’ve had cous cous for breakfast before! and the grapes were awesome :) Good to have for breakky after dancing til three on my blistered feet after the wedding!

Breakfast @ Carrington Place
It was nice to try someplace outside of Darby Street for breakfast while in Newcastle on the weekend. We went to the former Oriental Hotel – now known as Carrington Place with Rish’s family.
The place has been done up for dining, cocktails, as a guest house, and for high tea!

Deluca’s Pizza, Darby Street
Another “oh yum” place on Darby Street. Can’t move back here, I will become a Sumo.

Rose of some sort. Didn’t catch it.
The Kitchen on Darby Street
One of many lunches out over this Chrissy/New Year was with my family at a new cafe on Darby Street, simply called The Kitchen.

I started with a soy latte (they recently had to switch off the Bonsoy) while waiting, cos it takes a little longer for my sister to get going now there’s also a baby to bundle into the car too!

I had a pear, honeyed walnut and blue cheese salad. Oh yum!

Rish rocked up later and had a pizza with King Prawns and Salami!

Then his mum came, and tried to steal the baby… not that my father was going to have any of that, and whisked him off to the car later :p
